What was one blogger’s excuse for inaccurately accusing the NYT of plagarism without even checking his facts?
“I probably should’ve hand-checked this before I linked to it, but the standards are so low at the NYT these days that there was no reason to be suspicious.”
Simply amazing.
Hey Free Will — if “having a life outside your blog” means you’re too busy to do basic research before accusing others of dishonesty, then don’t make those kind of allegations.
Being intellectually honest requires a little more than simply retracting allegations when they’re proven wrong.
So, in other words, in a way its the New York Times’ fault that he posted the bogus plagiarism claim! Somebody certainly has low standards.
